Whither goeth all of those former Catholics?
Sometimes, your GetReligionistas come across mainstream religion-news stories that leave us saying, “That was kind of good, but that left me wanting more.” As if that mixed message wasn’t confusing enough, the truth is that some of these stories may leave one of us “wanting more,” in a good sense, or “wanting more” in a bad sense. Some cause us to feel both ways at the same time.

That Anglican timeline thing, again (with apologies)
I have been on the road for a week or more and, when I returned home, there was a huge stack of Baltimore Sun newspapers for me to triage.

CNN asks a clown question, bro
The headline above is a reference to Bryce Harper’s response to another silly question from a reporter, but you simply have to check out this collection of utterings from CNN anchor Christine Romans. I’m pretty sure it’s the style that sets me off just as much as the content. She really thought that question about feminism was har-har-har funny, didn’t she!

The voiceless disappearing flock, again
Three months ago, I threw a fit about a St. Paul Pioneer Press report that focused on a black pastor who lost three-fourths of his congregation after endorsing same-sex marriage.

Missing chaplains in military suicides story
Because I go to church near the Pentagon, my congregation is blessed to have many chaplains as part of our membership while they serve there.
